Real Madrid, or more accurately, Real Madrid under president Florentino Perez is already famous for liking to recruit top names in the world to increase the strength of “Los Blancos”. The Galacticos 1.0 and 2.0 projects spanning two terms are more than enough to understand the ambition of the Spanish businessman.

From 2000 to 2013, 5 world transfer records all had the same destination. Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale all became the most expensive players in the world when they arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu. But in recent years, times have changed and Real Madrid’s president understands that better than anyone.

The appearance of owners from the Middle East comes with a notorious “playfulness” that forces Real Madrid to change, develop and re-evaluate their transfer style, because they cannot always compete with the best deals. Clubs like Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain or Newcastle United in economic terms.

Now, “Los Blancos” are no longer too interested in signing hundreds of millions of euros when the disappointment from names like Eden Hazard or James Rodriguez still haunts Florentino Perez. Instead, to compete with many clubs with bottomless resources, Real Madrid decided to turn to rising talents.

In the past 4 seasons, Real Madrid ranked 31st in the world in terms of money thrown into the transfer market, only about 240.5 million euros. The five La Liga representative players who have signed permanent contracts from the 2020/2021 season have an average age of 20.2 years. This statistic will certainly surprise “Los Blancos” fans.

Those investments, including the arrival of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, are still too few if you consider the names that the white shirt team brought in on loan or free transfer, most notably including Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba and Joselu.

That wisdom helps Real Madrid now have a combination of top stars such as Federico Valverde, Eder Militao, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, and also have room for young players. prospects, including Arda Guler or Endrick.

The Royal football team’s ambitions have not stopped. Next summer, if Kylian Mbappe decides to land at the Santiago Bernabeu, the French player will become the representative of a new generation of Real Madrid. The striker born in 1998 is probably the most perfect player to bring this team to a new level. 

Frivolity has gradually been replaced by wise calculations by president Florentino Perez . He is sowing the seeds for an era of success. It remains to be seen what kind of results this team will reap.
